Frank, Downloading and installing the file Gene.zip was easy done succesfull. The form: I am not able to enter a value in column #Weird if I have entered 8 in the column text. Is that how it is supposed to work?

I came up with some simple rules to test validation. They are arbitrary, but they are also simple. (No sense having them be complicated for a proof of concept.)

Regarding weirdnr: 1) weirdnr is supposed to be divisible by 3. 2) It is also supposed to have the same even-oddness as the first character of thetext. Example 1: With thetext of "An example", "A" has a value of 65 which is odd, so weirdnr must be odd. Since it must also be divisible by 3, it must be one of {3, 9, 15, ...} or the negative of one of them. Example 2: With thetext of "Brilliant or bad example", "B" has a value of 66 which is even, so weirdnr must be even. Since it must also be divisible by 3, it must be one of {0, 6, 12, 18, ...} or the negative of one of them.

The above assumes Frank implemented correctly what I asked for, and for that matter, that I wrote what I intended. I have just gotten home from work -- I am working full-time outside of IT -- and have not looked at his code yet.

I might not get to look at it in detail for a few days. But I will. This is the first potential grid example that works for my value of "works". If I have been overlooking something, I want to know about it.

Mind you, I am going to try to break it, too. I want something solid and to know that I have something solid.
